Migrating to Ko-Fi + Discord Server! [IMPORTANT for active Patrons!]
🕑 Added 2020-08-04 22:11:49 +0000 UTCTL;DR- I've moved my Patreon-only content to a discord server where I'll continue to post exclusive content/wips/videos for people that transfer their pledge from Patreon to Ko-fi. Aka I'm gonna dunk you all into the trash can that I call home and show you all my gremlin-y doodles.
If you sign up for a monthly Ko-fi sub, you'll get the same perks you get here on Patreon, you'll just find my art on a Discord server instead of here.
See bottom of the post for links.
----------------- [End TLDR Section]
EDIT: Apparently Patreon isn't going anywhere, BUT I'm still making the change over to Kofi + Discord.
----- End Edit
For many personal and financial reasons, starting next month [September 1st], I'll be officially moved over to Ko-fi. Ko-Fi is a donation + Monthly support site that takes 0% out of a creator's donations that go straight to paypal. The only drawback is that Ko-Fi does not allow any adult content. The work-around?
A Discord server!
Discord is easier to upload pictures and sketches to on the fly, categorize art, and add quick emoji 'reactions' to posts and pictures you like. And, you can always mute it if you don't want notifications. The one caveat is that people will not be able to chat in the server. I don't get a lot of comments on my posts as it is so there isn't much loss there- but the main reason for no chatting between members is to avoid any possible conflict, drama, etc.
There are rules in place that include, but are not limited to:
- No sending random DM's to other members
- No harassing other members for their presence there
- No sharing/reposting Discord-exclusive content
I will be discontinuing posting here starting September 1st. I've already put all my old Patreon content up to the most current post, on my Discord Server, PLUS a lot of other content I found in my folders that I never posted here on Patreon.
I greatly encourage anyone who'd still like to support me to make the transition over to ko-fi! BUT before you do, please note so you don't get confusing charges:
- Drop your Patreon pledge BEFORE September 1st
- Wait until next month [September 1st and beyond] to pledge monthly to Ko-Fi
- Whatever day of the month you start your Ko-fi subscription on is the date you'll be charged monthly [so pick a day of the month you like best]
- None of my activity on my Ko-fi can be fetish/nsfw. So don't let the lack of Ko-fi page content fool you -> the real action is on the Discord Server.
- It's easy to cancel your ko-fi sub [link at the bottom of post]
- The tiers are still $5, $10+, and $50+ for their respective rewards. HOWEVER, the tiers have slightly changed to give $5 supporters a little more love.
♢ $5 monthly= Access to my art [SFW, Fetish, and NSFW] and update feed
♥ $10+ monthly= Above + small animation and comic projects.
★ $50+ monthly= Above + BIG comic & animation projects.
Last note:
IF Patreon stays up and doesn't go under from their blunder, I'll keep this page open for anyone to comment on Discord content! Some people will be bummed that they can't comment/chat in the Discord server or DM me, so I'll be sure to keep the 'community' tab [found here: https://www.patreon.com/starstruck_studios/community ] open.

That's everything for now. Here's all the relevant links:
[Please remember not to sign up to ko-fi until next month, after deleting your pledge here on patreon, so you don't get double-charged for August.]
Where to delete your Patreon Pledge: https://www.patreon.com/pledges
My Ko-fi [make sure you check 'Monthly' and not just 'One Time' if you want into the Discord server!]: https://ko-fi.com/starstruckstudios
[Please note that I will be giving Discord invites out sporadically until September 1st. If you don't get yours right away, don't worry. I'm compiling the members list as each person signs up to Ko-fi, so I can send everyone their invite.]

Thank you to everyone currently supporting me, and anyone who follows me over to Ko-fi! Here's to the fall being a little more productive and full of tasty sketches and colors for you to feast your eyes on.
Cheers,
